Swimming Set of the Week - April 5, 2013
Something for everyone this week: kick, pull, choice, and tethers...always fun.

There's nothing like being DONE with the One-Hour Swim. Now...where did I put those fins?
We did some pumped-up kick sets this morning, using equipment and body weight to intensify the effort and keep it fun.
Mixing tether work into a practice where everyone is on the same sendoff. Good for team building.
Following this week's theme of finding one practice that works for all levels....
Want really fast breakouts from your starts? Here's a quick drill that will help.
Too much Turkey? Try a set with Tempo Trainer and Tether to get yourself back Together.
This week's set asks you to swim in all the different training zones, from recovery/aerobic, all the way up to above race pace.
What do you do when you have long-course meets coming up, but practice in a short-course pool? Here's a practice that will help get you ready.
Every once in a while I get a question about what to do when swimmers travel and end up at a hotel that has an "Olympic-size pool"... like the one shown here.
This week's set is actually several short sets that we combined into a stations workout for Masters practice this morning. The hula-hoop station was hilarious. If you don't have this exact list of equipment, just improvise with whatever cool equipment or challenges you can think of.
We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
